Two question about sacred music

[heathershay88]

Hello everyone!
My first question is if anyone knows who composed the version of ’ O Sacrum Convivium’ that the Daughters of St. Paul sang and/or where I can buy the sheet music for it.

The second is if anyone has any suggestions for latin, polyphonic songs to sing for the Christmas midnight TLM.

Thank you

I don’t know about the version, but I can tell you that “O Sacrum Convivium,” the prayer, was written by St. Thomas Aquinas. It’s been used You can find the prayer in both Latin and it’s English translation here:
preces-latinae.org/thesaurus/Euch/SacrumConv.html

There’s an article talking about it and listing the different composers who have written the music for the prayer as a chant here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_Sacrum_Convivium

The type of music you’re looking for, polyphonic music, usually in Latin, is known as Gregorian chant. There have been MANY chants written for Christmas Masses over the history of the Church. It used to be the ONLY acceptable music for use in the Catholic Church.

Just look up Christmas and chant in any search engine, and you’ll no doubt come up with something. Here’s one page that I know of with links to a lot of information about chant, including where to find sheet music and CDs with chant, from one of the best places in the world to find this sort of information:

The particular piece of music you are looking for can be found in the St.Gregory Hymnal which is now available through Google books.google.com/books?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&um=1&q=St.Gregory+Hymnal&btnG=Search+Books

It can be found on pg 365 of the above document and is hymn No.235, I was going to post the pdf of the individual hymn but it is too large for the forum. You will find some selections for advent and Christmas as well in this hymnal.

O Sacrum Convivium is a Latin prose text honoring the Blessed Sacrament. It was written by Saint Thomas Aquinas. It was included in the Latin Catholic liturgy as an antiphon on the feast of Corpus Christi. Its sentiments express the profound mystery of the Eucharistic miracle: “O sacred banquet at which Christ is consumed, the memory of his Passion is recalled, our souls are filled with grace, and the pledge of future glory is given to us.”[1]

Here is a link to the page of the St. Gregory’s Hymnal (it seems to be a simplified version): gutenberg.org/files/23673/23673-h/images/N235_P399.gif . It lists the composer as R. [Roberto] Remondi.
